Google's Censorship
It's very simple. Google censors content by 'de-ranking' or giving results such a low ranking that 75%+ of the traffic the censored site should get is missed. Of course, Google denies censorship. Here is Googles Wikipedia claim to non-censorship. A one line statement on a locked page with no possibility of rebuttal. Basically censoring other opinions as to whether Google employs censorship. The author of this disclaimer states, "Google absolutly absolutely has the best words." Apparently spelling and editing aren't high on Google's list of requirements for information they approve of.

On PJMedia, in an article by Paula Bolyard, a study is talked about in which it is determined that Google has in fact "almost blacklisted" certain conservative leaning websites by artificial means. In addition, Google seems to be artificially inflating the ranking of other 'preferred' sites. Some of the websites listed in the article are known to be beyond reproach in their many news articles. They are certainly suitable for all audiences. Critical information on mainstream political discussions is being hidden from view of everyone when news articles on sites like AmericanThinker.com and DrudgeReport.com are ranked so low in the search results on Google. Basically, their ranking is so low that unless you page down three and four pages of results only then might the articles appear. This article makes for some very good reading. https://pjmedia.com/lifestyle/2017/09/11/report-google-bias-against-leading-conservative-websites-is-real/[1]

My last piece of evidence is taken right from the mouth of Google CEO Sundar Pichai during an interview by BBC as retold in an article Welcome to 1984: Big Brother Google now watching your every political move by Robert Bridge, an American writer and journalist. https://www.rt.com/op-edge/402588-google-eric-schmidt-republicans/[2] In the interview Pichai indicates clearly that he believes Google should be driving people to only news Google approves of. He cites censorship of 'Fake News' as being something we should be doing. Oddly, the news Google sees as fake, is content almost exclusively from conservative sites that clearly detail their reputable sources of the information being discussed.

So, the question must be asked, "Can a free people allow monopolistic control of information and still be free?" I'm pretty sure the answer is no. Bspielb (talk) 23:27, 12 September 2017 (UTC)
